Belva BB5000dv2 Unboxing and Amp Dyno using the AMM-1

[@juanfelix3660]

Belva is a good product I purchased the 10 inch subs in box with the 1000 watt amp and amp kit sounds pretty good on my 2017 dodge Durango. Very satisfied with the sound

[@wal]

Great test, thanks for sharing. Getting some 14V batts to complement the power supplies would help keep voltage. Also, the AMM-1 measures to clipping, so that’s equivalent to the “uncertified” mode of the Amp Dyno. You could use a DD-1 and AMM-1 together as the DD-1 would show 1% THD

[@vintagestereobuff7005]

Sometimes when I do as you suggested, using the dd-1 and the amm-1 together, they both seem to blink at almost exactly the same time, despite that I'm increasing the gain slowly, and there is very little difference between certified and uncertified.

[@wal]

I agree with Ryan, it depends on the amp. Some seem to "give up" at virtually the same time (1% THD and clipping), but other amps have a little more in them for the clipping tests

[@josem2410]

how many batteries stuck together to run this app. is required any ideas, any suggestions please??? I would appreciate it thank you in advance?

[@curtisfoster9802]

This is a gr8eat amp.I loved mine.I had done big 3 up front and a couple extra batteries sitting in back!!!plenty of slam for 2 locker comps 15s love loved love.Thanks for review

Yes I agree if he still has it

[@Thumper68]

Doesn’t matter the dyno will have same number if voltage is the same

[@Dominancelogistics]

Overrated or not, hands down one of the best values i seen. Take any five of the top names. You'd spend 5x the price for the same power. I'm reconsidering running brand new belvas instead of my 20 year old rockford bd500. I would love to see a dyno on the 4 channel.

You need to retest this one. Might be the best budget amp of all times man try it again I'll watch.

[@clayscott8363]

I had a 2000 watt belva amp once, best amp I've ever owned

[@vintagestereobuff7005]

15 amp breaker at 120volts equals 1800 watts max from wall outlet to power supply. Power supply might have a little trouble keeping up for long bursts, but the amp seems to have plenty of internal "juice storage capacity". Good performer for the money.

[@vintagestereobuff7005]

What is the maximum current your power supply draws from the outlet? I ask this because, 400amps surge output at 12 volts is 4800 watts surge. I'm sure the continuous output of the power supply is much lower even if it is only about 20 seconds for a burp. The electrical panel circuit breaker is 15 amp times 120 volts for 1800 watts maximum. I'm sure you could use a 20 or 30 amp breaker in place of the 15 if your box isn't already at capacity. A power amplifier is much like a bank savings account, in that you can't get out more than you put in. The 1800 watt surge of your supply is more than adequate for the dynamic tests, or the amp has a good amount of capacitance.

[@TheWardog1369]

Great video, I would have never considered a Belva amp without the information provided. I'd have to do more research. Looks like a great value. Even though id agree with you on the name, Belva... Kinda would make ya want to buy something else because of it being a lesser brand without the research.

should retest this amp , i clamped the V1 . peak rms at 64x31= 1984 rms = 2.06 ohm / 63x30.88 = 1945.44 watts = 2.04 ohm testing was done on a 1ohm load starting . nvx vcw 12'' d2 wired parallel

[@bigblank69]

@@mazda2284 I, believe I saw that video on KZbin before I tested mine. Only problem with your numbers is they are not accurate for wattage. The math for Watts is VxAxPF with the PF standing for Power Factor, that is the phase on a reactive load (subwoofer). You dont have to measure phase on a resistive load (braking resistor) because the phase is 1. Your true numbers are likely 10-20% less than your clamp numbers.

I have the OG black version of this amp, my car got completely fuuked in a rear end accident and the amp survived. Now I have it runnin a PSI 12 platform 2 at .5 and it fucking slaps! It isn't effcent at all but I have a 250 ho alt so its all good. Love the damn thing. for the price when i got it in 2k15 it was and still is a beast. Im gonna ride it till it smokes tbh Still going on in 22k and it is a monster, I think the V2s got down graded nd shit. Sad stuff... This was the CAB brand back in 2k15/2k14

[@billythomas9434]

To be 100 percent honest I like Belva I got a pair of Belva 12s on a trade and for an entry level sub they sound really good! they hit hard they are super clean sound wise I like them and mine are only on about 300 watts rated for 1200 so I’m getting a bigger better amp soon and we will see what happens

[@MrVwclassic]

Miranda Thomas I have the same set that the guy traded you. Do you still have it in the super small black carpet box ?

VerySpicySalsa yep their still in the factory box right now I’m going Monday to buy a bigger dual port box so they are fighting each other with that open single port

I was just gonna tell you that same thing. That's why they always clip on lows at loud volume. I just put mine in a new box at Christmas and wow, it made a world of a difference.

Best budget amp out there besides the Slayer md 3k😏🍻

[@Cal3666]

Great video .. ! But ....? How efficient though ? You said your power supply is good for 400 amps , and it tripped your breakers . So 400 amps to get 2000 watts "clean" .. this wouldn't be the way to go .

[@vintagestereobuff7005]

15 amp breaker at 120 volts equals 1800 watts total from outlet. A power supply can't put out more than it's input for very long, so the certified and uncertified modes would gobble up everything the power supply could put out. Dynamic mode is another matter though, and the amp seems to have plenty of capacitance.

[@gilbertos1984]

You know. I was skeptical about sonicelectronix.com but they are pretty good. I got my amp from them and it's a brand I couldn't find anywhere else. And it's awesome. Its a cervin vega amp.

Another good video, keep them coming. What kind of editor or whatever do you use to make video's? I made some videos too, but live one shot videos. After I finally figured out how to use the youtube editor it got removed. I have a program on my windows 8 called Cyberlink PowerDirector I am trying to figure out. Is that what you use? I want to be able to video intros, then gut shots, then run the tests then edit them together. On my tests I use a sub for a reactive load that I tune to the desired impedance by adjusting the port length. I adjust it to where I get the desired impedance at the amps full power output.

[@vintagestereobuff7005]

That's what is on my windows 8. I could use it but couldn't seem to drag and drop the transistion thingies in place. A little circle with a red line would pop up, indicating "no go". So, yesterday I upgraded to powerdirector 15, but does the same thing. Maybe I'll eventually figure it out.

[@mem10fan2]

The power output is great but remember ;the harder you run the amp the more likely it is to fail you in a short time period. The manufacturers are using cheaper quality parts internally.
